Description
-
This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses the Christian priests in the colonial government in Peru. The author had criticized many parish priests for their sinful actions against the indigenous peoples of Peru. This image, however, represents an exemplary Christian priest, who does not involve himself in justices, commerce, servants, or unmarried indigenous women. The author praises their devotion to God. This priest is depicted standing at an altar that has a crucifix, two candles, a book, and the priest’s cap. An indigenous person is depicted kneeling behind the priest as he holds a bell and the priest’s cloak. The large caption at the bottom of the image reads, [M]isa parese bien con debocion y breue y se da mas debocion [...]a oy al bolber del saserdote los ojos serrados y umilde y al[zados] del sacramento los ojos al senor hacia arriua el braso alsar [cuan]to pudiere y detener un rrato para que pidan los pecadores del [mun]do y negocie y las ymagenes que ayan hecho milagro no se des[cuida], cino dos ueses en el ano con mucha ueneracion y fiesta en [e]l mundo.
